...I offer you THIS:

I've just got to put on the fan, belts, radiator hoses and bolt on the A/C compressor tomorrow night. Then it's time to prime the system and turn the key.

That's pretty funny!

Dave-
I've got work clothes with me and my camera (couldn't find the tripod). Unfortunately, I'm sharkless today, so we can't go out on the prowel together, but I promise, you WILL be driving it tonight.
BTW, what time do you think you'll be home tonight? I'm planning on going there right after work, but I can delay it if needed so you can say hi to the wife & kids. Also, I'm in the process of getting a new cell phone, and as a result, I'm without a phone for today only. Feel free to call me on my office line @ 734-855-3239 or just post here on rennlist. See you tonight.

How many people here have ever noticed that:

A - the timing belt covers are marked to show the location for each cylinder on the distributor
B - the spark plug wires are labeled with the appropriate cylinder number


I've got to confess that discovering this made the install easy! *gasp*

Dave - After what you have been through the last few months - must be REALLY, REALLY nice to find something EASY to do!

We're all rooting for you. I'll bet that you get more 'beverages' bought for you at SITM then anyone else (except Jeannie! )
